An updated pocket book size version of this seminal anarcho-punk essay by Crass drummer and writer Penny.
As documented in Rimbaud's essay Last of the Hippies and his autobiography Shibboleth, Russell was arrested and incarcerated in a mental institution after having been found in possession of a small amount of LSD. He was later released, but appeared to have been seriously mentally damaged by his experiences, especially the side effects of prescription drugs that he had been administered, and subsequently died. The official verdict is that Russell committed suicide, although Rimbaud claims that he uncovered strong evidence that he was murdered. Rimbaud has claimed that it was his anger over unanswered questions surrounding his friend's death that fueled and inspired him to form Crass.

THE DAY THE COUNTRY DIED

Just as Burning Britain provided the definitive picture of straight down the line UK punk from 1980 to 1984 this volume tackles the Anarcho punk scene for the same period. They said; "The Day The Country Died" is the long-awaited follow-up to Ian Glasper's successful "Burning Britain", and sees the author exploring in minute detail the obscure, esoteric, UK anarcho-punk scene of the early Eighties. If the bands in "Burning Britain" were loud, political and uncompromising, those examined in "The Day The Country Died" were even more so, totally prepared to risk their liberty to communicate the ideals they believed in so passionately.

BURNING BRITAIN

The definitive and exhaustive (400 pages, dozens of never seen before photos) guide to the UK punk scene between 1980 and 1984. As the Seventies drew to a close and the media declared punk dead and buried, a whole new breed of band was emerging from the gutter. Harder and faster than their '76-77 predecessors, not to mention more aggressive and political, the likes of Discharge, The Exploited and GBH were to prove not only more relevant but arguably just as influential.

The underground hardcore scene of the mid-late Eighties was UK punk rock's last significant creative gasp. Emerging from the wreckage of the anarcho punk scene spawned by the likes of Crass and Conflict, it took its influences from the studs 'n' leather punk bands of the early Eighties such as Discharge and GBH, and also the nascent American hardcore movement and the emerging metal/punk crossover scene. Filter all of this through some through fiercely DIY aesthetics and you had a potent movement that spawned such seminal acts as Napalm Death, ENT, The Stupids and Heresy.
